Abstract: (arXiv)
It is shown that the inverse of the ghost form factor in the Hamilton approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge can be interpreted as the color dielectric function of the QCD vacuum. Furthermore the horizon condition to the ghost form factor implies that in the infrared the QCD vacuum is a perfect color dia-electric medium and therefore a dual superconductor.
